Collection by SANDAs ofrequired information
Creates Perceived Current Situation (i.e. PerceivedGround Truth) by classifing, correlating and aggregatingreports andharmonising resultant PCS with that of peerand subordinate ASCs

Collation includes obvious single sourcecorrelationsEvaluation adds reliability & credibility ratings

Classification does either ORBAT independent or dependent classification of the information
Correlation reduces the data set and to enhance the information content by fusing the information contained in the correlated reports
Aggregation process is to reduce the amount of details by aggregating a number situation elements to a higher level entity
